Express company suits target fraud in express franks
District attorney Sims acting on directions from Attorney General Bonaparte filed five suits in the United States Circuit Court seeking injunctions to halt alleged violations of the new rate law. The actions name United States National Armorican Wells Fargo and Adams as defendants claiming they issued inflated franks to their own officers, attorneys, and to other express and railway personnel. Defendants admit some frank inflation occurred but argue no law was violated because franks were exchanged for other franks and no discrimination is proven.
